Fort Niagara State Park, State park with military fort in Youngstown, US
Located at the mouth of the Niagara River, this state park features 504 acres of green spaces alongside Lake Ontario's shoreline.
The fort within the park dates back to 1726 when the French established a military stronghold to control access to the Great Lakes.
The park organizes regular military reenactments and demonstrations that showcase colonial life and warfare techniques from the 18th century.
Visitors can access swimming pools, hiking trails, boat launches, and fishing spots from April through October, with parking available for 1,200 vehicles.
